* Refer to the [[:Category:Games|individual game pages]] for many game-specific issues.
 
* Try verifying the integrity of the game files ([[Store:GOG.com#Verify & Repair (GOG Galaxy)|GOG Galaxy]], [[Store:Origin#Repair game installation|Origin]], [[Store:Steam#Game fails to launch or has odd gamebreaking issues|Steam]], [[Store:Uplay#Verify game files|Uplay]]).
 
* Restart your computer (for Windows 8 and later choose the Restart or Update and restart option).
 
* Ensure your system meets the stated minimum requirements including whether the game supports mobile graphics if you are playing on a mobile device.
 
* Ensure you have installed the latest updates for your operating system (some games require certain updates).
 
* Check the game's official forums for additional support information. Developers often maintain a forum topic detailing known issues and incompatible configurations.
